PARTS AND FEATURES
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before using your rice cooker for the first time wash the non-stick removable cooking
pot, lid, measuring cup and serving spoon in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
2. Ensure that the exterior of the Rice Cooker is clean and dry, place the non-stick
cooking pot inside the Rice Cooker.
3. Using the measuring cup provided, measure out the quantity of rice.
4. Using a sieve, wash the rice thoroughly under cold water before cooking
(recommended, but not necessary). This removes excess starch which helps to
achieve fluffier rice. Ensure that the water runs clear and is not still milky.

of water.
6. Insert the plug into a power outlet and turn on the power supply.
7. Press the cook button to start cooking. Do not force the button, if it is not easily
pressed, it means that the inner pot is not inserted properly. The cook light will
illuminate.
8. Place the lid on the Rice Cooker whilst the rice is cooking. The switch will pop up
when the rice is done. Keep the lid on for 15 minutes on the warm setting after
cooking is complete to steam rice.
